We Urge… • Early process of claim settlement • Daily hearing of Railway Claim Tribunal Bench • Special Team to attend & give Medical Help • Special Cell to attend Job applications • State govt. to disburse compensation for remaining 354 victims • Healing Touch to Defeat Intention of Terrorism • Fulfillment of commitment before 11 July 07 • Justice • Complete rehabilitation of victims
Action Plan Suggested… • Ammend guideline and provide artificial limbs, hearing aids, etc. • Each case of medical help, medical reimbursement should be re-verified, expenses reimbursed immediately. • Directives be issued to complete payment of ex-gratia and such other compensation within 15 days. • Proper job of III Grade or IV Grade as per qualification and need of the person should be given.
Action Plan Suggested… • Railway Claims Dept. should be asked to approach each and every affected family and get claim filed. • Number of victims differs from Department to Department, Ministry to Ministry and Government to Government. One final list of 1077 prepared by Police/Railway should be treated as the base list. • All the concerned Departments be asked to provide legally eligible help to minimum 1077 families. • A Coordination Committee under the Chairmanship of Additional General Manager, Western Railway, should be formed to help and monitor all the above.
